2 buttons

Brush and water

A bit of coloured paper for mouth
Ribbon or crape paper
String
Yarn
Scissors
Step by step tutorial:
1, Paint 6 of your popsicles with different colours, then paint the two wooden buttons that will be our eyes.
2, Turn your popsicles upside down and arrange them in a diamond shape. Use the last popsicle to hold all the popsicles together by glueing it down across all the popsicles. If you have a glue gun, use it otherwise, use PVA glue.
3, Turn your craft to the front side and glue down eyes and a mouth from paper.
4, Let’s make the yarn bows. Wrap a yarn around 2 or 3 fingers, pull it off keeping the shape, tie it up in the middle with a bit of yarn and then cut up the ends that are joined together.
5, Glue them down on the 3 top corners of the kite.
6, If you like, you can add a bow tied up from crepe paper or ribbon.
7, Now we need to create the kite’s tail. Repeat step 4 until you have about 4-5 bows. Then tie them up on a string and glue the end of the string to the back of the kite. Your kite can have more than 1 tail.
